This would be a pretty reasonable comprise in my opinion. Works like mail bridge (maybe calendar could get some love too?) And everyone is happy.

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.
The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.
Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.
Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.
So is Voyager (also on fdroid, but is just a pwa) and its miles ahead of the native Lemmy UI.
I remember when they shut down the WON servers and forced me to migrate to steam. I could have had a 4 or 5 digit steam account number if not for resisting the migration.
R.I.P. counter strike 1.5.
Its a fair point, and definitely worth pointing out. They aren’t as bad as the others in that very specific way, which is commendable for now while it suits them. The moment they can make more money by selling vs. holding your data, I have no doubts they will pivot.
I wonder if this is something that will help bring Firefox usage numbers up to what they should be. Since so many Firefox users are privacy focused and resist fingerprinting, a lot of users don’t show up in usage numbers. Maybe there aren’t enough of them to make a difference, I don’t know. Thus is the only non-nefarious usage I could think up.
Not seeing it on f-droid yet.
Such useful features. They should be built-in. But I’m glad they’re serviced separately so we get updates outside windows update cadence.
It’s a balance, but too many people don’t even flag it to management because they’re lazy and they write shit and ship it to get it off their own plate.
Now, if management says ship it anyway it’s a balance of you as a developer making sure they understand they’re throwing this technical debt on the credit card and it may (probably) need to be paid off later. If you fail to articulate the interest that’ll be due later then you didn’t do enough or management is bad.
You shouldt work unpaid to fix it, but sometimes you should just do it right even if it takes longer because it’s how it should be done.
I have done it as my main job and I echo your sentiment. It’s inevitable that sometimes you have to meet a deadline or get something more important working first, but if you write bad code because you are lazy or unwilling to read the docs to do it right, shame shame shame.
I was just nodding along, reading your post thinking, yup, agreed. Until I saw there was a PR to fix it that signal ignored, that seems odd and there must be some mitigating circumstances on why they haven’t merged it.
Otherwise that’s just inexcusable.
I’m sure there are projects covering those areas written in JavaScript.
That’s perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards
Thanks! I agree some of what’s needed are more lurkers to vote up the little content that is posted, to get more folks posting.
I’m in, but mostly a lurker.
Did you forget the ./s or something? Lemmy itself is developed on GitHub, as are plenty of other “valuable” open source projects. To pretend nothing of value is built there is putting your head in the sand.
If you’re developing software on GitHub you have a chance at getting some useful feedback, bug reports and maybe even PRs. Like it or not, the network effect is real.
You can easily migrate custom domain that to proton for email, calendar, and drive. What you’ll struggle with is docs and sheets.
That would be my dream.
